Meh. Kind of sucks that the series went from a fairly deep attempt at complex squad tactics to just another generic shoot all the terrorists and/or zombies and/or terrorist zombies 'cause 'Merica.
I mean, it's pretty telling what this game is gonna be like when they immediately lowered the price drastically after that closed beta that happened a couple months ago.
I mean as someone who has several hundred hours in Siege, I am interested in seeing what exactly this is. I'm not opposed to co-op zombie/alien/whatever killing with some of my favorite Siege operators.
...but also, I think Ubisoft has done a pretty good job of patching the fun out of Siege as time goes on. You can't kill guys with Twitch's drone anymore. They made Jaeger a 2-speed. They took away IQ's grenades. OK, they probably need to keep grenades away from 3-speeds but my point is that they weren't so much concerned about the game being consistently fun as they were about making sure that pick rate chart was nice and even and perfect. I eventually just quit when they made the recoil on Zofia's rifle so absurd that using her previously meme-y LMG became the better option. Imagine spending tons of time getting that recoil control just right and then they change it because Zofia suddenly started getting picked more often than usual for some reason.
I don't really want to get into Extraction if Ubisoft is going to treat it the same way. I mean, sure, balance your game, but also, I can only see things I used to find fun get nerfed so many times before I just throw my hands up in the air and give up on the game altogether.
Mere moments made me think it was about to drop. Google tells me Jan 20. That's still a little bit away. I'll probably watch someone on Twitch play to check it out.
I was really into Siege for a couple of years, but this doesn't look interesting to me. Admittedly, I am not really into the whole zombie/zombie adjacent thing.
This game has been coming out in mere moments at least 5 times already. Sometime around this like 5th E3 it was at I decided to ignore it until I could actually purchase it, considering it had gone through a half dozen major iterations already. So assuming it comes out this month, which again I will believe when I see it on a shelf/digital strorefront, I guess I will finally look into what this game ended up actually becoming.
Is anyone actually playing this? I know Ubisoft is still pushing it on their socials but I've heard pretty much zero chatter since we did our stream on it.
